The miracle technology called "Steorn Orbo Technology" is said to base on a fictitious "time variant magneto-mechanical interaction"<ref>[http://techcrunch.com/2007/07/04/laws-of-physics-apparently-being-rewritten/ Laws of Physics Apparently Being Rewritten Today], Tech Crunch Jul 4, 2007 </ref> and allegedly is able to provide "clean energy" for mobile sound systems and cars. It is claimed to be a so-called "overunity technology", which means it will generate more energy than its operation requires. Orbo was also said to be a registered brand.

In previous publications, Steorn affirmed they were able to generate energy by applying a time-dependent, magnetic viscosity, an effect only understood by Steorn as it were. According to Steorn, the fast convergence of two magnets used less energy than slowly pulling them apart later on, because the magnets thus did not have sufficient time to readjust their magnetic „domains“.

The eOrbo device presented in Dublin is said to draw pulse-shaped electric current from a little battery and generate a magnetic field using small inductors which affect the attraction of rotating permanent magnets in different ways: During convergence attracting powers will maximize, while they will decrease during the phase of removal. A ''broken symmetry'' hypothesis had been drafted by one [[Thomas E. Bearden|Tom Bearden]] previously.<ref>http://www.cheniere.org/references/brokensymmetry.htm</ref> The right moment to pulse power is said to be determined by a Reed relay. The rotation of permanent magnets at the same time will induce current in further conductors (according to Faraday's law of induction) which was said to be sufficient to charge the battery after rectification. The electric power output at the same time was said to be higher (''overunity'') than that necessary for operations, so that a change of battery was redundant.

Another demonstration scheduled for December 15, 2009 had been promoted in communications and video streams. The device was displayed at Dublin ''Waterways Visitor Centre'', and three video streams were shown in the Internet (Links: [http://www.steorn.com/iframe-vid11.html] [http://www.steorn.com/iframe-vid12.html] [http://www.steorn.com/iframe-vid13.html]). The streams were interrupted several times. Also, cleaning personnel moved the demonstration engines out of sight to return them after completing cleaning operations.

The device was powered by a small rechargeable battery which was supposed to be recharged by operations and thus never discharge. Steorn even claimed the "Orbo 2009" model produced three times the energy it consumed. Surplus energy was said to be released as heat. The operating power was said to come from the magnets used (''Orbo is a technology that creates energy from magnetic interactions.'').<ref>[http://www.steorn.com/orbo/what/ What is Orbo?], Steorn Website, retrieved 9 March 2011</ref> The demonstration was scheduled to last six weeks, with a break between December 24 and 4. January 4, 2010. There are no measuring instruments registering outputs or inputs of electrical current visible in the videos.

According to Steorn, giving a precise energy balance was not possible due to the "complexity" of the simple engine. Since it may not be excluded that the device was operated exclusively by the rechargable battery (1,2 Volt/10 Ah), the demonstration is not appropriate to prove Steorn's claims. Further information may be obtained only by an independent examination which e.g. monitored charging voltage and charging current of the battery (or of a condenser of a high capacity) over a longer period of time in order to establish the system's energy balance. According to Steorn, they were not prepared to consider the use of a capacitator as a buffer store instead of the rechargeable 10 Ah battery, since capacitators allegedly had „a delay in delivering current“.<ref>Comment by Steorn-CEO Sean McCarthy</ref> In fact, capacitors are able to provide current without any delay.
